They act in egotism, and make others act in egotism; they collect and gather up the blackness of sin. And when death comes, they suffer in agony; they must eat what they have planted. ||6|| O Saints, gather the Wealth of the Lord's Name; if you depart after packing these provisions, you shall be honored. So eat, spend, consume and give abundantly; the Lord will give - there will be no deficiency. ||7|| The wealth of the Lord's Name is deep within the heart.

It is sacred and pure - meditate on it.

The Sanctuary, the Protection and Sanctuary of the True Guru is pleasing to the mind. It is sacred and pure - meditate on it. The True Guru has become Merciful to the meek and the poor; He has shown me the Path, the Way to the Lord. ||3|| Those who enter the Sanctuary of the True Guru are firmly established; God comes to protect them. If someone aims an arrow at the Lord's humble servant, it will turn around and hit him instead. ||4|| Those who bathe in the Sacred Pool of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har, are blessed with honor in His Court.

The Glorious Virtues of the Lord, Har, Har, cannot be described. The Lord, Har, Har, is Inaccessible and Unfathomable; how can the humble servants of the Lord be united in His Union?

Through the Perfect Guru, He is revealed, O Nanak, and one is lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2|| Pauree: Blessed, blessed, beauteous and fruitful is that moment, when service to the Lord becomes pleasing to the mind. So proclaim the story of the Lord, O my GurSikhs; speak the Unspoken Speech of my Lord God. How can I attain Him? How can I see Him? My Lord God is All-knowing and All-seeing.

57

The disease of egotism is deep within the mind; the self-willed manmukhs and the evil beings are deluded by doubt. O Nanak, the disease is cured only by meeting with the True Guru, the Holy Friend. ||1|| Fourth Mehl: My mind and body are embellished and exalted, when I behold the Lord with my eyes. O Nanak, meeting with that God, I live, hearing His Voice. ||2|| Pauree: The Creator is the Lord of the World, the Master of the Universe, the Infinite Primal Immeasurable Being.
